摘要: Hotel quarantine has been a prevalent process over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic as destinations seek to utilise such spaces to uncover potential positive cases within international tourism mobility. Yet, this abruptly designed layer of quarantine is vastly different to what hotels were built for and intended as spaces of leisure and hospitality. In addition, the spaces of immobility and how these are encountered by guests in quarantine are largely under-investigated. Addressing existing knowledge gaps, 15 blogs written from hotel quarantine guests were analysed through the work of Scheiner's spaces of immobility to examine how they negotiated with these spaces. The research revealed three dominant themes of food, health and wellbeing, the digital self, and assurances as key markers of immobility. These outcomes provide theoretical and managerial implications to reconsider urban tourism politics within cities in terms of hotel design and spatiality in the future.
